Red Violet Closes $115M Offering, Full Greenshoe Exercised
RDVT has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $33.4 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Red Violet closed its public offering, selling 1.92 million shares at $60 each for gross proceeds of $115 million. The underwriters fully exercised their option, adding 250,000 shares beyond the base deal. Net proceeds are estimated at $108.6 million, up from the $95 million initially expected. The offering priced at a 12% discount to the prior close, and the stock is now trading around $67.30, above the offer price. Proceeds are earmarked for working capital and potential acquisitions. This follows a series of insider sales in June, where top executives sold $2.6 million in stock, raising questions about alignment. The offering is dilutive but provides growth capital; the full greenshoe exercise signals strong demand from institutional buyers.
